Chapter 277: Heart Stone

"Cough cough!"

After a moment of confusion, the little girl came to her senses and looked at the middle-aged man in front of her with a strange expression: "Master, how many years have you not left Tide Pavilion?"

"I?"

Not knowing why she asked this, the middle-aged man explained casually: "I was selected into the Tide Pavilion when I was 6 years old, and I have been practicing hard ever since. For more than a hundred years, I have never left the house. This is the first time!"

"No wonder..."

The little girl nodded and said, "If they are beaten to death, who will come to rescue them? They will definitely run away faster!"

“That… is also true!”

The middle-aged man's eyes widened.

Even though his cultivation is unparalleled in the world, he grew up in the Holy Land of Tides. All the so-called "methods" he had seen in books seemed very immature. He only thought of threatening people, but he didn't expect that people would die. Who would come to take the risk?
"That means... he's not dead, but seriously injured!"

After pondering for a while, the middle-aged man's spiritual consciousness moved, and a thought was transmitted to the waiter's mind. The next moment, the poor waiter appeared in front of Xu Hong's carriage again.

"Sir... I was wrong just now. Your companion, Miss Fengjiu, is still alive and is being tortured by the enemy. If you save her now, it's still not too late..."

The waiter hurriedly explained what the other party asked him to say.

"I understand..." Xu Hong nodded, jumped out of the carriage, snatched the whip from the coachman, and whipped the horse's butt hard.

I told you to run slowly…if you run faster, you will die!

The middle-aged man and the girl in the room looked at each other and were both a little crazy.

what's the situation?
The person is not dead, there is still hope for rescue, why are you running...

"Master, what should we do now?" The girl couldn't bear it any longer and didn't even have the mood to eat fish maw.

The middle-aged man looked depressed and waved his hand casually: "What else can we do? Just go there! If we don't hurry up, he will return to Chiyuan Sect."

The Chiyuan Sect was insignificant to him, just a small sect. However, once he rushed in to look for someone, it would be easy to make things worse, and that was not something he was willing to do.

Hearing this, the little girl's eyes lit up: "Okay!"

With a light grab, the unconscious Ye Fengjiu immediately floated up. The little girl followed closely behind the middle-aged man, entered the space crack, and suddenly appeared in front of Xu Hong's carriage.

The middle-aged man raised his hand and the carriage stopped immediately, like a bug sealed in amber, motionless.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually chased after him. Xu Hong secretly complained, and gritted his teeth and bowed his fists: "I wonder why the two seniors tried to stop us?"

Middle-aged man: "I just want to ask, your companion is in my hands, should I save him or not?"

Xu Hong: "How to save him? What if we don't save him?"

The middle-aged man: "If you don't save her, she will die! As for saving her... I have a test here. As long as you can pass it, I will let her go!"

"Assessment?"

Hearing that they were not to be killed, Xu Hong breathed a sigh of relief, with a joyful expression on his face: "Senior, please speak."

The middle-aged man flipped his wrist, and a fist-sized stone appeared in his palm, emitting the color of colorful glass. He said, "Here is a stone, all you have to do is touch it!"

"It's that simple?"

Xu Hong frowned.

He hid on one side while eating, and now he went to great lengths to catch up, just to let me and others touch the stone? Is this true?
Confused, he looked at the stone carefully, but apart from its beautiful color, he could not see anything else. Since there was no life in it, he could not make out anything about the Longevity Picture.

"Yes, it's that simple. Don't worry, this stone won't cause any harm to you. I'll let you go after the assessment!" explained the middle-aged man.

"With the strength of the two seniors, if they really want to fight, we will definitely not be able to resist!"

Xu Hong complimented casually and took a step forward: "Okay, I'll try it!"

“Don’t be in a hurry. Let the two young men in the car get out and let them try it first!” The middle-aged man nodded.

The guy in front of me is far less talented than the two in the car, so I will naturally try him first.

"them?"

Xu Hong frowned: "This Ye Fengjiu is my friend, and has nothing to do with them... I can do it myself!"

The middle-aged man shook his head: "It doesn't matter whether you try or not, but it's the two of them."

Seeing that the other party had no intention of forcing him, he probably had no ill intentions. Besides, there was no better way at the moment, so Xu Hong had to nod in agreement. After calling out Chen Qingyuan and Xu Ying, he quietly transmitted a message: "If you encounter danger, run away immediately. I have just notified the teacher. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be over soon..."

"it is good!"

Xu Ying and Chen Qingyuan nodded at the same time and came to the middle-aged man.

Looking at the girl in front of him, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "You go first!"

"Ok!"

Chen Qingyuan turned his head to look at Xu Hong, then gently stretched out his hand. As soon as it touched the stone, the latter immediately released a dazzling light, enveloping it.

In an instant, Chen Qingyuan seemed to be back in Chenjiazhuang in Jiyuan City.

Her father, mother, uncles, cousins, and almost all of them were there to celebrate her father's birthday. Suddenly, a wave of beasts arrived, and her father and others were killed on the spot. She was heartbroken and fought desperately against the beasts...

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Qingyuan woke up with tears in her eyes.

The scene she just saw was so real that she mistakenly believed it was true.

Xu Hong, who was standing at the side, didn't know what Chen Qingyuan had been through, and was wondering. The girl not far away had already looked at the middle-aged man and whispered, "How is it?"

The middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction: "This heart-searching stone has already tested that this Chen Qingyuan is indeed a man who values ​​friendship and loyalty, and is worth training!"

The colorful stone in his hand is an extremely rare secret treasure - the Stone of Conscience.

When Chen Qingyuan's palms touched, his mind entered a special illusion, where he could question his inner self and reveal his truest thoughts without any falsehood.

This is also one of the steps some holy places must go through to select talents.

Previously, I thought I could test it through events like "whether to save people or not". Since the plan failed, it would be easier to just use props...

After hearing the explanation, the girl's eyes lit up: "Try this Xu Ying!"

"Yeah!" The middle-aged man nodded and let Xu Ying take the test. After a moment, the young man loosened his palm and clenched his fist, looking anxious.

"Not bad!"

The middle-aged man also nodded. It was obvious that the performance of the phantom in the illusion had passed his assessment.

"It's your turn..."

After testing the two people continuously, the middle-aged man looked at Xu Hong.

Although the young man's talent did not meet his requirements, he was extremely smart and had an excellent sixth sense, so he was not weak. Now that he was here, he might as well test him without any regrets.

"it is good!"

Seeing that Chen Qingyuan and his cousin had finished the test and were fine, Xu Hong did not hesitate. He took two steps forward and placed his palm on the Stone of Conscience.
